I have this PCIe card installed in slot 2, but it can't be recognized by the system. The OS told me Slot 2 is not used. Any suggestion?
The card is mounted with 4xM2 SSDs. Indicator lights for each SSD is green when the power is on. I tried search the driver on Asus website but failed.
Mac Pro
" The ASUS Hyper M.2 x16 Gen 4 Card is compatible with the Intel X299, Z390, Z370 and future platforms' RAID-on-CPU function, and supports PCIe 4.0 NVMe RAID on the AMD TRX40 and X570 platforms.
Also support other vendors’ motherboards via PCIe bifurcation in BIOS setting "
Mac Pro does not support PCIe bifurcation.

Both of these vendors are strongly Mac-centric, so you won't be left out in the cold when choosing their devices. If it says it works with Mac -- from these two -- you can bank on it.
multi-NVMe cards that work in a Mac have a PCIe controller chip, and cost closer to US$400. than US$40.
Thanks for the response, it helps a lot. I am new with Apple computers.
Do you have any multi-name cards (model and brand) for Mac so I can search and buy? ($400 is OK)
Thanks in advance.
Thanks a lot for the help. Bought the Sonnettech one, looks very suitable for my case.
Also thanks for the other shop for more potential accessories.
take a look at this one, too. Supports PCIe 3.0 speeds, but still provides great speed and good value:
